Oops, it almost happened again. We just about overlooked Abyss, the latest album from Unleash the Archers. Already the pretty juicy Apex suffered some serious delay from the merciless hands of the RMR deck crew. Now this time we caught it, fortunately.

As you may know, we didn’t like it one iota once time stood still. Yet the aforementioned predecessor to this album gave us hope. The overblown theatrics and this multidimensional screaming ceased1, and in came some substance.

Of course, UtA is a Power Metal band and by this calling, they are prone to … [...] Click to raid more!

Ah, Fleshgod Apocalypse in a dungeon, chained to bars and screaming No. And all that to the tune of a thunderous metal avalanche that is so typically FA. Well, that’s exactly what I needed this Sunday morning with my bacon and eggs.

And that is when that cover of white-clad figures on a stormy beach caught our attention.

It turned out to be Dawnwalker‘s shiny new record Ages that saw the light of day in early December 2020. And – indeed – this is a … [...] Click to raid more!

Yo, ye folk bands of the mighty earth-lore, take heed. A new and pretty promising band is on the prowl. One that might very well make you hang your head in shame in the future.

The RMR crew already covered Tvinna for their first video back in 2019. And since then, we’ve seen only scarce news from this emerging band.

But fear naught. Kreiz, their newest clip, just hit the airwaves beginning of December 2020. This time with guest artist Eivør from the Faroes1 in tow.

Yet here, things are a bit more Gaia than may be good … [...] Click to raid more!
